Skinner made five changes to the side for the visit of the Parisians, with the most noteworthy coming in goal.
Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who had been an ever-present in the line-up this term, was absent from the squad, giving Safia Middleton-Patel the chance to shine in front of a 14,667-strong crowd.
After the match, the boss gave an explanation to the press: “She took a knock against Villa, I think we’ve got an assessment tomorrow [Thursday].
“She had a little bit of irritation today, so it was just making sure that she’s safe and healthy.
“We’ll assess her again tomorrow and see where she’s at for the weekend and going into Wolfsburg.
